I love it, it's exactly what I expected!

I love it, but I think the price is a bit excessive for what it is.

It's fine, although I'm not entirely convinced by the soundtrack.

It's okay, although I wouldn't have included the accessibility options (infinite lives, etc.).

I expected more from Ubisoft. They should have made some improvements, just like the fans did with Rayman Redemption.

There's like 3 songs I know of that do this. Two of them are 5 semitones higher, and another is 3 for some reason.

I dunno, maybe when they were hypersaturating the colours they decided to tone up the music as well for the craic…

I think it's somewhat ironic that here we all were ragging on Advance's music, then out comes Redemption with some very nice remixes of the exclusive pieces from that very soundtrack. :fou:

Ryemanni did a great job in remixing those tracks.

Should we do a poll asking whether people prefer Redemption over the original Rayman 1?

I don't mind that, really. That would let me express my thoughts and opinions between the original and the fan-made one.

We already covered this last year in terms of both appearance and power. We didn't have the Crazy Shoe as an option, though I'm not really sure if there's much point recycling the same poll again just to add it in. Any other suggestions are welcome in the meantime.
Poll 26: Favourite Laser Detergent costume (by appearance)? (Ran from Feb 6th, 2019 to Feb 13th, 2019 – suggested by Steo)

Poll 27: Favourite Laser Detergent costume (by power)? (Ran from Feb 24th, 2019 to March 3rd, 2019 – suggested by Steo)

I guess he redeemed those tracks from [Humch's version of] hell, eh? :hehe:

For the current poll, I'm currently saying both equally. I haven't finished Redemption yet though, so that may change during the week…

I'm also saying both equally, but likewise I haven't actually completed Redemption yet. I did get to see the toy world though. :hap:

There are settings for the camera that relate to it panning. There is an option to play in 4:3 though, and the fact that you're playing at a much higher resolution is the reason the field of view is so much larger. Even at that it's scaled, so it would be zoomed out about 4 times further if it was actually rendering in 1080p. :lol:

I haven't finished Redemption yet, but I'm unbiased when it comes to the two games. They're both great games.
